Hello,

You can't give Cetirizine to a child younger than 12 years old. You can give her Ketotifen because it seems she is having allergic rhinitis. You can also rinse nose with saline water and clean them.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka,
